Canna edulis, commonly known as Indian Shot, goes by the name Buthsarana amongst the locals. It is a plant with large elongated leaves and produces scarlet-red flowers. Thanks to the vibrant color of its flowers, Buthsarana is commonly grown as a flowering plant in gardens, in addition to its uses as a tuber crop. It grows well in the wet zone and the lowlands of Sri Lanka. The tubers can be harvested 8-10 months after cultivation. There are two types of Buthsarana tubers as red Buthsarana and white Buthsarana.
